For attaching the 30-lb. braid to 20-lb. mono I use almost 40 wraps and never an issue. It's very tough to beat the slim profile of this knot. It takes a little practice, but worth it. Look for the YouTube video that demonstrates holding the mainline in your teeth. Much much easier.
I think I'll rule out the FB as 30-40 wraps are a bit much. The Alberto looks pretty easy to tie. I may give that a shot. Thanks for the advice everyone.
